Sadly it seems there is trouble in paradise. Loyal Kate followers will note that we haven't seen her in Issa since 2011's 51 percent stake sale of the London-based company to Dodi Al-Fayed's sister, Camilla, whose family has been outspoken against the royal family since Dodi's and Princess Diana's 1997 deaths. Also possibly not helping matters: Issa founder Daniella Helayel's split from the company.

But all is not lost. Kate still has many go-to designers in her arsenal, and fewer Issa dresses leaves more time for these British labels to get on her social calendar!

Jenny Packham's romantic prints and fabrics are a perfect fit for this sweet dresser.

Alexander McQueen's been the label of choice for countless important occasions — not least of all Kate's wedding!

When Kate wants to channel her most feminine side, she turns to Alice Temperley.
